IN TWENTY ROUNDS.
The ssBeIfast Spider'' Whips Willie
Clarke, OF PhiladeIphia

LONG ISLAND CITY, l.. l., May l.
The fight between Ike Weir, of Boston,
better known as the Belfast Spider" and
Willie Clarke. of Philadelphia, took place
last night up Long Island sound. The
fight was to a finish, Queensberry rules,
with undressed kids, for $1,000 side.
The fight was in twenty rounds and lasted
one hour ana twenty-three minutes. THE
Spider' knocked Clarke down twice in
the first round, drawing blood from his
nose. Weir also made one clean knock
down in the seventh round, after which
Clarke fought entirely on his
gameness, taking terrific punish
ment. Clarke was a badly beaten
man. His face was badly cut. while ''The
Spider" was scarcely marked. Arthur
Chambers seconded Clarke and E. P.
Holske seconded 1.-The Spider" In the
nineteenth round Clarke made a desperate
and game rally, but it was useless, as he
was too weak from loss of blood, and his
hitting powers were almost gone. He
struggled hard. but it had been too up
hill fight from start to finish, he being
clearly over-matched. and at the end of the
twentieth round Clarke's seconds threwup
the sponge.
In the first round ''The SPIDER struck
which probably would have killed him If ID
had been little lower. The second blow
was on the nose, which drew blood. The
| first blow daZed Clarke. after which 1.-THE
| Spiders" seconds called him to his corner,
and he sat down III his chair and did not
go at his man till fully fifteen or twenty
seconds, after the ten seconds allowed for
Clarke to get up. This was pronounced
very bad judgment on the part of 1.-The
| SPIDERS seconds, as they should have sent
him at Clarke and finished him up then
and there in the first round, which
he probably could have done. 1.-The
SPIDERS seconds not doing so, Clarke
recovered sufficiently to fight an hour and
twenty-one minutes longer. After the
first round ''The Spider" had things almost
| his own way. He continually knocked
Clarke down and punched him in the face
whenever he liked. Clarke, as he was
taken by the hand by Capt, Cook,
| of Boston, after his defeat, said:
II will fight him again. He
will bear marks of his Gerible
punishment for weeks to come. When the
party left the scene this morning his eyes
were entirely closed and his face was in a
terrible condition, being cut all to pieces
and swollen fearfully. The ''Spider'' was
this morning at Z o'clock. He
showed little effect of his fight,
sitting on the rail of the boat, crossing the
river as unconcerned as if nothing had
taken place. Before the fight ''The
Spiders" second bet $50 even that he woulG
knock Clarke out in six rounds and S5 that
he would do him in eight rounds.

score of Is to 6. The game abounded in
brilliant plays. but Strauss fine catching
batting and wonderful base running won
special applause. The fielding of Behel

At Duluth.

DULUTH, May IA terrific hail, rain
thunder and lightning storm, accompanied
by heavy wind burst, occurred here this
evening, doing considerable damage. Win
dows were broken by hailstones, culverts
blocked and barst by torrents of water and
cellars and easements on Superior street
flooded. The entire stock of goods in the
basement of the Canning block. owned
principally by Buchanan, grocer, is
ruined, and several other stocks
along the streets in easements were simi-
larily affected. The police force turned out
to do as much as lay in their power, but the
cutters from the hillside were raging tor
rents and but little could be DONE No
estimate can be given as to the damage,
which is probably great. Hailstones as
large as peaches fell during the evening,
and to add to the confusion the city gas
supply failed during the height of the storm.

Tomorrow Pat Conley, of st. Paul, will de-

before me four rounds; provided, of course,
that Curtiss does not sprint or lie down, but
makes Il fight. Here is chance for Murnane
and Curtss to make $3.50 instead of 500, and
they need not put up five-cent piece. The
same offer is made to Curtiss if he stands be-
fore John P. Glow for six rounds. If either
offer is accepted it is stipulated that the

AS to Drunkenness.

Do you know, children, that the
most terrible evil in all the world is
drunkenness that it causes more
woe and wickedness than all the 9TH
er evils combined? 1t ends in power
ty, misery, shame, and death. Yet
its beginnings lie in the beautiful,
sparkling wine; the innocent, appar-
emily harmless, sweet cider. Wine
has been compared to a serpent
which glides so quickly through the
grass that you never suspect its ap-
proach nor hear its coming, until its
deadly fang has stung you, and there
is no hope. Little children, as soon
as they a write, should sign the
pledge, for if they never touch cider,
nor beer, not wine, there is no dam
ger of their ever being drunkards.
A little boy happened to be near the
gallows where a young man was to
be hung. AS he stood there the sher-
if said to the man who was to die:
"You have only five minutes to live;
if you have anything to say, speak
now" The young man burst into
tears, and said: 81 have to die! 1

beautiful blue eyes and flaxen hair,
and l loved him but one day l got
drunk and coming home found him
gathering berries in the garden, and
1 became angry without any cause,
and killed him with one blow with a
rake. Drink has done it. 1t has
ruined me. l have but one word
more to say-never, never, touch
anything that can intOXicate," The
young man died, but the boy went
home and signed the pledge.-Se-

Gaining Our Chlldren's Confidence.

American Agriculturist.
Few mothers really think what a
grave error they are committing in
repelling the confidence of their lit
tie CUES. The time may come, all
too soon, when the children who are
thus repealed, will refuse to have
confidence in mamma, when she
would give all she holds dear in the
world to gain it. Children must
have somebody to talk to and con-
fde in and if mother does not have
time to listen to them, is it any more
than natural that they will seek a
confidant elsewhere? And who
knows what wrong and harmful
counsel and advice that person may
give your boy or girl? You may
say, perhaps, that your boy or girl
never cared to confide in you they
always preferred outside confdants.
Ifso, mothers, whose fault is it? A
mother is her child's natural potec-
tor. And if her child turns from her
to seek counsel from Others, then in
nine cases out of ten, the mothers
must have wofully failed in her duty.
If in their baby days mamma is
always ready with her sympathy,
when they come to her with their
little grievances or troubles. Ifshe is
always ready to point out the right
way to the small lads and lasses, to
listen to the why and wherefore of
each mistake, failure or success, if
she is always a ready and willing
sharer of all their little secrets, then
her children will always consider
her what she should be, the very
best confidant they should have in
the world. And the child who con-
fides in mother all his or her secrets,
whether they be great or small, is
safe. For what boy or girl can GO
astray when they have nothing hid
from mamma?

Portland, May 23.-Dear Sir: Your
note of the 18th is just received. l
hasten to reply. The effects of the
Maine laws have been:
l. TO suppress entirely every brew
cry and d~istillery in the State, and
we had many of them, some of them
very large, and running night and
day, the products all for home use.
3. We had West India rum import
ed here by the cargo-many cargoes.
Some of them in large ships, every
year. Many cargoes now !; not a pur-
chaser, and has not been for many
years.
8. More than three tourths of the
State-that is, our rural districts,
small towns and villages-are prac-
tically foes of the liquor traffic, where
more than three fourths of our peo-
pie live.
4. The traffic yet fingers on a small
scale, and generally on the sly, in
our cities and large towns. This re-
suits only from certain defects in the
law. When those are corrected we
can sweep every vestige of the traffic
in six months.
5. Maine was the poorest State in
the Union, now it is one of the most
prosperous, because we save annually
more than twenty-four million dol
lars, directly and indirectly, which,
but for Prohibition, would be spent
for drink.

The Fight in Texas.

Hon. d. B. Culberton, a member
of Congress from Texas for many
years, says: "The evils of the liquor
traffic in Mr.. Jefferson's time pale in
to tterinsignificanc beside the mon
umental horrors that stalk through
the land today hand in hand with
this traffic. The feeble and insignif-
cant power for harm eXerted by the
saloon in the earlier days of the re-
public has grown to be an overshad-
owing despotism. 1t assumes to con-
troll the franchises of freemen. 1t
sets at defiance the laws enacted to
preserve the good order of society. 1t
enters the high and low places of au-
thority, and stamps its will over the
will of the people. The wrecks of
manhood which fill the land, the dis
tress and bankruptcy wrought by its
power, the onerous burdens of taxa
ton imposed upon honest industry to
defray the expenses of crime, the le-
climate offspring Of its power-all
show how deeply the public welfare
is involved in the evils of the liquor
traffic. For one, 1 believe the time
has arrived when this despotism
should be broken and overthrown,
and the welfare Of the people enamel
pated from this thraldom."

7. There is no respectable opposi-
ton of any kind here to Prohibition.
1t is unanimously accepted as the
settled policy of the State. The word
repeal is never heard here. A move
ment in that direction would be as
unsuccessful as one to pull down the

Why is it that we do not exhibit
as much sense in educating our chill

He studies that colt carefully. He

whether it is best to train him for
a trotter ora plow horse. He would
be soundly laughed atIif he should
send a heavy-built, stolid, muscular,
slow-going animal to the jockey to
be trained for the r~ace-course, and
his judgment would be as m~ercilessly
scorned ifhe should take a high-spir-

large observation of the Judge and
his ripe experience with men and

of the ruinOus effects of the liquor

prises of our State, developed an ar
